What are “NDC’s” and what does the US owe?

As we head into COP29, it’s important that we understand how the USA contributes to our global greenhouse gases causing climate change. Every 5 years, each country at COP29 (UN Conference of Parties) sets a goal for reducing emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement. This goal is called a “Nationally Determined Contribution” or NDC. In 2025, we will set a new goal.

Christine Moffett, Program Director of Energy and Environmental Policy with ELCA Advocacy shared with our network a way to advocate for ambitious NDCs. View our October 2024 Connections Call below!
